Important Two-Component Material Information

Changing Materials

When changing materials, flush the equipment mul- tiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.

Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.

Check with your material manufacturer for chemical compatibility.

Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use ISO on the B side.

Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener) side. Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin) side.

A (Red) and B (Blue)

Components

IMPORTANT!

Material suppliers can vary in how they refer to plural component materials.

Be aware that when standing in front of the manifold on proportioner:

Component A (Red) is on the left side. The A (Red) side is intended for ISO, hardeners, and catalysts.

Component B (Blue) is on the right side.The B (Blue) side is intended for polyols, resins, and bases.

For ratios higher than 1:1, the higher volume is typically the B (Blue) side.

Most polyurethanes use ISO on the A (Red) side and polyol on the B (blue side, but some use ISO on the B (Blue) side.

Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener) side

Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin) side.

Silicones often have the catalyst on the B side.
